According to the Daily Sun, rumours have been floating about that the star has been dating a pastor and the pair could be married by the end of the year. “I think this time she has found someone who matches her requirements,” the source said.

Speaking to TshisaLIVE, Zahara said she wanted to keep her dating life private for now.

“It may be true, it may not. He may be a pastor, maybe he is not. I don’t really want to talk about it at the moment. All I can say is that I am happy,” she said, with a laugh.

She said that whether she is dating someone or not, she wants to abstain from sex until her wedding night.

“I want to wait. It is important to me. I want to make that sacrifice and it is my choice. I have also been very busy,” she added.

Zahara has opened up before about her search for a prince charming and reaffirmed that her man has to be God-fearing.

“If I get married, it will be a man of God, if he fears God. That is one of the main things for me.”

Natasha Career

Her first role as an actor came when she made an appearance on the show “eKasi: Our Stories” that was on e.Tv back in 2014. This industry is a cut throat one, but Natasha’s talent has not gone un-noticed and has since managed to keep securing the bag.

She has managed to blend in with the creme de la creme of this industry, rubbing shoulders with the likes of the Fergusons on The Queen and Cornet Mamabolo on Skeem Saam.

Natasha has since been seen on many other local productions such as Lockdown which is one show that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.

In 2019, it was reported homegirl would star in a Netflix series set to be released in 2020. Just like Pearl Thusi aka Queen Sono, Natasha is flying the SA flag high.

Recently, Natasha just shared the news that she landed a role on a new BET Telenovela alongside actress Rami Chuene.

The show is produced by Clive Morris Production and is called ‘Isono – The Sin’.

Ladies and gentlemen; meet the new face of Garnier. The top international cosmetic brand, has announced their new exciting partnership with actress, Natasha Thahane.

Natasha Boyfriend

It is a known fact that she used to date Bohlale Makgolane (Bo Maq). After their break up, rumors had been swirling around that Ms.Thahane was dating rapper, A-Reece, and that the two were married. However, she came out against those rumors stating that they are lies.

2020 may have started on a good note and Natasha and Anga Makubalo may have sparked the rumours that fans love to hear. The two may have taken one innocent picture, but fans were already branding them Mzansi’s hottest couple.

Natasha Style

Like every other celebrity that we love to see drippin’ in finesse with their style, Natasha is no different. She always has it on lockdown when it comes to her taste in fashion and we have no choice, but to stan.

What you didn’t know about Natasha Thahane – Age, Boyfriend, Family, Education

She knows how to put it together no matter the occasion and her fans are in love with it.

Travel – She loves travelling.

Shoes – No matter how colourful you might think they are, those are definitely a go to pair.

Gym – Even at the gym, she still knows how to slay so that she gets that summer body.

Bikini Bod’ – We all love to get that dip in the pool once in a while and Natasha does it in style.

Fur – Bring on that fur even in the snow. It’s a thumbs up.

Casual – Even at the filling station she still looks hot.

There is no denying that this celebrity is a stylish confident young woman. Her personality is portrayed in a number of things including her myriad hairstyles.

Natasha Controversy

When on the road, the golden rule is to not drink and drive and not to use your mobile device. While many do it and often get away with it, some are not so fortunate. They end up in the hospital or even worse; dead.

Natasha was dragged for recording and driving at the same time. She shared a video where she could be seen jamming to Bo Maq’s FOMO. She briefly took both her hands off the steering wheel during the recording of the video and she also took her eyes off the road to look at the camera.

Fans were not impressed at all and immediately they called her out and told her to follow the rules of the road even if she’s jamming to her favourite song.

Back in late 2017, there were rumours of Natasha Thahane’s pregnancy and wedding, and many looked forward to Natasha Thahane baby pics with some hoping for a pretty Natasha Thahane baby girl. This was all false as Natasha Thahane is still not married and does not have any children.

Some time ago the beauty became a trending topic when she tweeted that. Wait; what?

Although the star has been romantically linked to several boys before, many people thought that she was coming out as a lesbian or a bisexual woman. Natasha did not elaborate further but as usual, social media users jumped into their own conclusions. At the time, Natasha was known to be dating her American boyfriend she met whilst studying there.

Natasha Health

Natasha shared that she is struggling with Anemia and sometimes her days do not go the way she wants them to go.

What you didn’t know about Natasha Thahane – Age, Boyfriend, Family, Education

She is not the only star that has come out with her health struggles. We hope she stays healthy and keeps strong.

Natasha is one that always keeps aiming for the stars and we can’t wait to see her bring her talent on our screens with the roles that she’s landed.

Songstress Yvonne Chaka Chaka is set to join a host of stars in remembering Johnny Clegg with a tribute concert.

Speaking to TshisaLIVE ahead of the concert next month, Mam’Yvonne said the tribute concert was befitting of the legend Johnny was.

“The tribute is so befitting and when I was requested to join the list of performers, I didn’t ask why or when I just said, ‘I will do it. It is a befitting tribute to Johnny because of his selflessness.’”

Set to take place on 25 April at the Johannesburg Botanical Gardens in Emmarentia, the concert will feature fellow musicians who will commemorate the life and musical career of Johnny.

A close friend of Johnny’s, Mam’Yvonne said being a part of the tribute meant a great deal to her because of the contributions he made musically.

“Johnny did a lot not only for SA but also for the children of this country. He was always interested in helping to fund raise reading material for children because education plays an important role. He was also a lecturer so he knew the importance of education. When people are educated they are empowered.”

Mam’Yvonne believes Johnny deserves to be honoured and the tribute will make sure his legacy lives on.

“Whatever he had been doing, whatever he was interested in, whatever he contributed towards, we [who are still alive] should continue to do that. We need to continue his legacy by doing exactly like him.”

Mam’Yvonne plans to sing one of Johnny’s song during her set.

“Maybe I’ll sing Scatterlings Of Africa but it depends because there are lots of artists who also have to choose songs.”

The musicians include Prime Circle, Just Jinger, Karen Zoid, Black Coffee, Soweto Gospel Choir, Sipho Hotstix Mabuse, Francois van Coke, Jesse Clegg, Cito from Wonderboom, Zolani Mahola, Majozi, Kurt Darren, Young Mbazo, The Parlotones, Lira, Arno Carstens and Matthew Mole.

Money raised from the concert will go toward the Clicks Foundation, supporting ‘The Friends of Johnny Clegg’ charity established with Johnny in December 2018.

Celebs and social media users slam Reyn du Preez’s apology about ‘groping’ video

Celebs and social media users slam Reyn du Preez's apology about 'groping' video

Some of SA’s biggest stars and social media users took to Twitter and Instagram on Tuesday to weigh in on an apology from model Reyn Du Preez, who was caught on camera “inappropriately touching” a Cape Town waitress.

Reyn issued the apology on his Instagram account after the waitress, Sarah Belgarion van Niekerk, shared her ordeal on her social media platforms.

“I am ashamed of how I acted and can only imagine how that made Sarah feel. It was a moment of bad character under the influence of alcohol and I truly did not mean to belittle her or make her feel violated.

“I am not here to make excuses, but to explain my actions and to apologise,” read part of the apology.

According to TimesLIVE, two agencies terminated their contracts with him after the incident.

While some accepted the apology, actor and comedian Siv Ngesi called it an apology “stinking of privilege”.

“Dear Reyn du Preez, your apology stinks of privilege and lacks accountability! You’re not sorry, you’re just sorry you got caught!” he wrote, alongside a copy of the apology.

TV personality Thembisa Mdoda also slammed the model, while actor Atandwa Kani said there was no excuse for his behaviour.

“What a disgusting being … Even the alcohol is saying “Tsek, I had nothing to do with you being fked up” … ahole.

When the video went viral on Tuesday, radio host Anele Mdoda lambasted Du Preez.

“This video was posted by Sarah Belgarion after she was violated by Reyn Du Preez — he then fights her for standing up for herself. You are exactly what’s wrong with this country.

“You may feel you are not that bad, it was just a tap there, but you are as bad as the rapists because, really, you took away Sarah’s choice. Then the audacity to mouth off as if you are entitled to her,” Anele said.

DJ Zinhle and comedian Celeste Ntuli applauded Van Niekerk for exposing the model.

“Thank God he was exposed. Bayanyanyisa shem,” Zinhle said.

“Honestly the mentality of most men in this country is disturbing,” Celeste added.
